Tighten Up

@willham_south @JohnDenton555 In other words, you really have no idea about any of this. If your theory was true, wouldn’t all professional athletes always perform at the highest potential?

@JohnDenton555 You mean a professional baseball player needed a pep talk of some kind in order to concentrate and optimize his efforts? I would think a MLB salary and the prestige of playing at the highest level of baseball would be enough.

Lars Nootbaar, who had a clear-the-air meeting with #STLCards manager Oli Marmol on Thursday, just homered for a second straight game and day. He smacked a Landon Roup curveball 400 feet for his 12th HR of the season.

@cigarmike I’m not entirely sure you understand the point of the article. It’s about dedicating funding and resources to the player development area. If there are 10 people doing the work that 25 people need to be doing, do you think there is anyway the entire program can be successful?

Not sure what Katie Woo wrote about because I need a subscription to read it and I'm not getting one for that, but if this rebuilding project includes the same people that caused it in the first place, I have to say I'm not too interested. 1/2

@George63667880 @KachineAlexis She’s a rookie. No one expected her to be dominant and the Fever didn’t put her in a spot requiring her to be dominant. It’s all just really stupid and arguments against her success are thought out by a bunch of potato brains.

@KachineAlexis You know what? I actually agree with her this time 😂🤷🏿‍♂️ she had a great season no doubt but when I think of dominant I of what Aja is doing rn..

Okay now this is getting ridiculous. I. cant make anymore excuses for this unfortunately 🤦🏽‍♀️

@JasonKirk_fyi @Hlas Imagine giving a shit what any 22 year old thinks about the world.

@JPHill_Cards The Cardinals are in love with Siani, or at least Marmol. There is almost zero chance he isn’t starting CF in 2025.

I, personally, am fine with Victor Scott heading down to Memphis if it opens the door for the Cardinals to learn over the next month that Michael Siani can't come into camp as the presumptive starter next season.

@JimmyJax444 @NFL_Talk_Sports Staged? Of course.

@NFL_Talk_Sports Is this outside stadium? Something not quite right. Staged maybe?

Dolphins’ WR Tyreek Hill getting handcuffed by 4 officers for a driving violation. Completely unnecessary.

@BergieHawk7 @ChadLeistikow Of course I do. There are “tickets sold” and “butts in seats”. You can’t take a sellouts away. How do you think Nebraska has had a super long sellout streak? They were selling bulk lots of tickets for $1 each to keep the streak going.

@SpfldThunder @ChadLeistikow You do realize fans don’t have to use their tickets right?

New postgame column is up: Itemizing the biggest reasons Iowa blew it against Iowa State, starting with a curious no-timeout call in the final minute. hawkcentral.com/story/sports/c…

@doctornew_ @NFL_Talk_Sports But that makes sense

@NFL_Talk_Sports I'm gonna wait to see what happened before I say this is "completely unnecessary"

@BergieHawk7 @ChadLeistikow They have already sold out. This makes no sense

@ChadLeistikow Will Kinnick have anymore sellouts this year? Feeling fans are going to check out with nothing to play for anymore

@hes_verygood @C70 Or a female……

It’s been media driven, but folks have settled on the idea that Chaim Bloom is the heir to Mo’s position. In reality, having him audit the system for a year, then take LaRoque’s job when his contract expired felt like the direction they were going, and is still the most likely,

@stl_nation You are really misinformed.

This is the best thing to happen to the Cardinals organization in the last few years.

@ChadLeistikow @Tyler_T15 No more Brian

3-word headlines from Iowa’s 40-0 win vs Illinois State? @Tyler_T15 and I likely podcast in 6:15 range after we file our stories for the newspaper.

@GoesByMicah @Brett_McMurphy @GopherHole One would think an intern with a football team would understand football.

Minnesota set off fireworks after missing game-winning field goal via @GopherHole 🎇

@C70 Gotta take 3 of 4 against the Padres, and 7 of 10 the rest of the year.

It was a winning series for the Cardinals. It was also a solid series for the #cardsix. Let's dive in!

@ScottDochterman @TheAthleticCFB Fantastic article! Lots of good (and bad) memories.

The Big Ten’s greatest conference games since 2000: 50 epic precursors to the 18-team era List includes: Drew Brees’ miracles The best of ‘The Game’ 6-4 to 67-65 9 OTs to a 22-play drive Greatest comeback in CFB history ⁦@TheAthleticCFB⁩ nytimes.com/athletic/57190…

@DraftKings The rest of the play would determine relevance.

Caitlin Clark with a NASTY crossover 🔥

@marcmorehouse Iowa has found guys that can’t make plays with their feet, or their arms.

@Josh60426037 @dandakich Hurt your feelings?

Good for Brittney Mahomes… It’s time for folks to speak out , be unafraid..

@notgaetti He’s not a first ballot HOF’er. Both of these guys will be in.

Lance Berkman or Joey Votto and why? Berkman (1879 games) • .293/.406/.537 (.943 OPS) • 422 2B, 366 HR, 1234 RBI • 1146 R, 86 SB, 144 OPS+ • 6x ASG, WS Champ Votto (2056 games) • .294/.409/.511 (.920 OPS) • 459 2B, 356 HR, 1144 RBI • 1171 R, 80 SB, 144 OPS+ • 6x ASG, MVP Berkman was a HOF one-and-done, receiving just 1.2% of the vote in his only appearance on the BBWAA ballot in 2019, but people tell me that Votto is a no-doubt, first-ballot HOF'er. 🤷‍♂️

@AGledovic @MLBPipeline @MiLB @Sgf_Cardinals @Cardinals Every one of them!!!!!!

@MLBPipeline @MiLB @Sgf_Cardinals @Cardinals Can’t wait for the organization to ruin him like we ruin every other promising prospect.

Quinn Mathews entered the night leading @MiLB in strikeouts ... and he put a stamp on that with another gem for the Double-A @Sgf_Cardinals 💎 7.2 IP 2 H 1 R 1 BB 12 K The @Cardinals' third-ranked prospect lowers his ERA to 2.27 in 22 starts.
